Among the first to wear jerseys were gymnasts from Germany. They wore grey linen uniforms at first, but by the 1890s, cotton shirts became more common. When team sports emerged with the need to tell players apart, their shirts were dyed in many different colors, and symbols and numbers were sewn on. By the 1908 London Olympic Games uniform clothing regulations were put in place for all competitors. Today, according to popular sporting goods retailer, Dick's Sporting Goods, Dallas Cowboys' star quarterback Dak Prescott has the best-selling jersey, edging out former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

Chicken or beef--beans or salsa- it all began one day in 1943 in Eagles Pass Texas when the wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Ft. Duncan dropped in on a local hotspot called the Victory Club. Unfortunately the restaurant had closed for the day. Still, a manager named Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya decided to throw a dish together based on whatever ingredients he still had left. It became a local hit...then in 1978 it became a national hit when famed sportscaster Howard Cosell, introduced the snack during a game between the then-Baltimore Colts and Dallas Cowboys broadcast on national TV and now they can be found at restaurants across the country or you can make your own!

Just known as 'football' in the US and Canada..it's been around since the late 1800s. The first official football game in the US was played between Rutgers and Princeton. Football was inspired by rugby, the original ball was round and the rules stated that it could not be picked up or carried and there were 25 players on the team at the time. The game has evolved with an elongated ball and 11 players on the field per team. College football took off well before the pro version...but the 1958 NFL Championship Game, known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played," changed everything. Today there are 32 NFL teams split evenly between the NFC and the AFC.

During his sales trip, he saw street vendors keep pretzels warm using a contraption that employed light bulbs. In 1963, the iconic Easy-Bake Oven quickly became the hottest selling product. Ever since, it has continued to receive the love of children.

Clichés are elements of a play, book, or movie — or sayings, or ideas that have been used so often that they've completely lost their original impact...They can be very irritating — but they're also funny and enjoyable, and used well, clichés can facilitate conversation and be great ice breakers. Printers borrowed the word 'cliché 'in 1825 from the French to refer to the cast plate or block print used to replicate type or images. By the 1880's the word 'cliché' comes to be used for ready-made phrases that are repeated often. Like: better late than never, low hanging fruit, it is what it is, last but not least.
